The Airports of Thailand company affirms that it will expedite the compensation process to all local residents affected by noise pollution from the Suvarnabhumi Airport operations.

The Director of Suvarnabhumi Airport, Mr. Somchai Sawasdipol, said that the Airports of Thailand company will facilitate the payment of compensation for local residents in 71 homes troubled by noise from airport operations.

Mr. Somchai said that compensation must be conducted in an orderly manner, however, and that local residents pegged for compensation have been divided into several groups, including residents willing to sell their homes at a pre-determined AOT price, and residents unwilling to sell their homes at prices offered by the AOT.

Mr. Somchai said that the latter group would be required to settle the matter at the Court of Justice.

The director said that officials have been sent into affected areas to conduct price estimations for homes, and groups in conflict with AOT compensation policy are being persuaded to enter discussions with the company. Mr. Somchai affirmed that he will expedite the resolution of the matter in order to relieve the burden on local homeowners.
